Using a popular culinary technique, researchers have created a foam infused with carbon monoxide to boost the effectiveness of autophagy inhibitors, an experimental cancer therapy that until now has produced mixed results in clinical trials. The novel … Continue reading Drinkable carbon monoxide foam may boost cancer treatment
In an effort to mitigate human-caused climate warming, scientists are focused on ways to remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. One of the more novel ways to do this has just been announced by scientists at the Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL) … Continue reading Climate alchemy: Team turns carbon dioxide into super-strong fibers
Greenhouse gases and plastic waste are two of the biggest environmental problems the world faces today. A new reactor from Cambridge is designed to tackle both at once, converting CO2 and used plastic bottles into useful materials, powered entirely by … Continue reading Solar reactor converts both CO2 and plastic waste into useful products
NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope has provided the most detailed look at the atmosphere of an exoplanet ever. Analyzing data from four instruments, a team of astronomers was able to compile a complete molecular and chemical profile of the planet, inclu… Continue reading James Webb captures complete chemical profile of exoplanet atmosphere
The leaf is one of nature’s most impressive little machines, able to convert sunlight, carbon dioxide and water into energy. Scientists at Cambridge have now created a type of artificial leaf that can float on water, tapping into sunlight above it and … Continue reading Floating artificial leaves produce fuels from water, air and sunlight
Astronomers have counted the number of neutrons inside carbon atoms from 2.8 quadrillion km away. The team managed to measure the ratios of carbon isotopes in the atmosphere of an exoplanet for the first time, which can tell us about how it formed.Cont… Continue reading Individual isotopes measured in exoplanet atmosphere for first time

Researchers have created an unusual new alloy made up of not two, but five different metals, and put it to work as a catalyst. The new material is two-dimensional, and was able to convert carbon dioxide into carbon monoxide effectively, potentially hel… Continue reading New five-metal alloy makes for 2D catalyst to convert CO2 into fuels
Engineers at Rice University have developed a new reactor that can convert carbon monoxide (CO) into acetic acid. Using tiny copper cubes as a catalyst, the device is relatively simple and can operate for long periods at a time, allowing the unwanted w… Continue reading Copper cube reactor converts carbon monoxide into acetic acid
Water, high currents, blinding balls of plasma, and a highly flammable gas that’s toxic enough to kill you in three minutes if you breathe enough of it. What’s not to love about this plasma-powered water gas generator?
In all seriousness, [NightHawkInLight] is playing with some dangerous stuff here, and he’s …read more
